Full Description of event/sighting: We were around SE 72nd, traveling west on SE Stark Street. A big orange ball of fire with a long white/yellow tail fell fast at a nearly 90 degree angle. Seemed close--I expected to see an explosion from impact but there was nothing. We're used to seeing shooting stars--this was like a shooting star x 1,000, close in. What the heck?
